Waterfall to Coastline: Full Day Elopement $8,000

Waterfall to Coastline: Full Day Elopement

  • Beach
  • Coastal

Your day begins at your cabin in Port Angeles with quiet getting-ready moments before heading into the park. From there, we drive into the mountains for portraits at an alpine lake and a nearby waterfall. The cool air, steady sound of water, and mountain surroundings ease you into the day and set a relaxed tone from the start.

By midday, we arrive in the rainforest for your private vows. Surrounded by tall trees and soft, filtered light, this part of the day feels calm and contained, creating space to focus on each other without distraction. After your ceremony, we stay in the forest for portraits along the trails and mossy ferns.

In the afternoon, we continue west through the park toward the coast. The drive becomes part of the experience as the forest slowly opens and the air changes. Near Forks, we arrive at the beach for coastal portraits with open views, textured sand, and driftwood scattered along the beach.

As the day winds down, we remain on the coast into blue hour. A picnic is set up on the beach, giving you time to sit together, share food, and take in the fading light. The experience ends along the shoreline as evening settles in, closing out a day that feels full, varied, and deeply connected to place.

This elopement is ideal for couples who want to experience the diversity of Washington’s landscapes in a way that feels relaxed, romantic, and unrushed, while still making the most of a full day together.
